A pet store has six dogs for sale. They have half as many cats, twice as many birds, and thrice as many fish for sale. How many animals are for sale in the pet store?

The pet store has 6/2 =

<<6/2=3>>3 cats for sale. They have 6 x 2 = <<6*2=12>>12 birds for sale. They have 6 x 3 = <<6*3=18>>18 birds for sale. Therefore, there are a total of 6 + 3 + 12 + 18 = <<6+3+12+18=39>>39 pets for sale. #### 39 A candy store sold 20 pounds of fudge for $2.50/pound, 5 dozen chocolate truffles for $1.50 each and 3 dozen chocolate-covered pretzels at $2.00 each. How much money did the candy store make? 20 pounds of fudge at $2.50/pounds is 20*2.50 = $<<20*2.50=50.00>>50.00 The 5 dozen truffles were sold in individual units so a dozen is equal to 12 so 5*12=<<5*12=60>>60 60 chocolate truffles, at $1.50 each sold for 60*1.50 = $<<60*1.50=90.00>>90.00 The 3 dozen chocolate pretzels sold in individual units so a dozen is equal to 12 so 3*12 = <<3*12=36>>36 36 chocolate pretzels sold for $2.00 each sold for 36*2 = $<<36*2=72.00>>72.00 All total, the store made 50+90+72 = $<<50+90+72=212.00>>212.00 from candy sales #### 212 Vanessa has decided to sell some of her clothes to make pocket money, offering a standard price for each type of item. She made a total of $69 by selling 7 dresses and 4 shirts. If she managed to sell each shirt for $5, how much did the dresses sell for each? Let V be the cost of each dress. (7 * V) + (4 * 5) = $69. So, 7 * V + 20 = $69. 7V = $49. V = $49/7. V = $<<7=7>>7. #### 7 The recipe for a four-person cake requires 2 eggs and 4 cups of milk. Tyler wants to use this recipe to make a cake for eight people. If Tyler has 3 eggs in the fridge, how many more eggs does Tyler need to buy? A cake for eight people would require 8 / 4 = <<8/4=2>>2 times as many eggs as a 4 people cake. If a 4-person cake requires 2 eggs, then an 8-person cake requires 2 x 2 = <<2*2=4>>4 eggs. Tyler needs to buy 4 - 3 = <<4-3=1>>1 more egg. #### 1 Sydney and Conner are having a three day rock collecting contest to see who can have the largest collection after adding to their existing collections. Before they start, Sydney has 837 rocks and Conner has 723. On day one, Sydney collects 4 rocks and Conner collects 8 times as many. On day two Sydney rests and Conner collects 123. On the third day, Sydney collects twice as many as Conner did on the first day. How many does Conner have to collect on day three to make sure he at least ties Sydney? On day one Conner collects 32 rocks because 8 x 4 = <<8*4=32>>32 On day three Sydney collects 64 because 32 x 2 = <<32*2=64>>64 After three days Sydney has 915 rocks because 837 + 0 + 4 + 64 =<<837+0+4+64=905>>905 Before the third day Conner has 878 because 723 + 32 + 123 = <<723+32+123=878>>878 Conner needs to collect 37 on day three to tie Sydney because 905 - 878 = 27 #### 27 A thirsty traveler found an oasis in the desert. He drank 32 ounces of water. His camel drank seven times as much as he did. There are 128 ounces in a gallon. How many gallons of water did they drink altogether? The traveler’s camel drank 7 * 32 = <<7*32=224>>224 ounces of water. Together, the traveler and his camel drank 32 + 224 = <<32+224=256>>256 ounces. Thus, they drank 256 / 128 = <<256/128=2>>2 gallons of water altogether. #### 2 This year the Oscar swag bags include two diamond earrings that cost $6,000 each, a new iPhone that costs $2,000, and some designer scarves that each cost $1,500. If the total value of the swag bag is $20,000, how many scarves are there? First find the total cost of the diamond earrings: $6,000/earring * 2 earrings = $<<6000*2=12000>>12,000 Then subtract the cost of the earrings and iPhone from the total cost of the bags to find the cost of all the scarves: $20,000 - $12,000 - $2,000 = $<<20000-12000-2000=6000>>6,000 Then divide the total cost of the scarves by the cost per scarf to find the number of scarves: $6,000 / $1,500/scarf = <<6000/1500=4>>4 scarves #### 4 Tim won a $100 raffle. He gave away 20% to his friend. How much did he keep? He gave away 100*.2=$<<100*.2=20>>20 So he kept 100-20=$<<100-20=80>>80 #### 80 Mark orders 100 chicken nuggets. A 20 box of chicken nuggets cost $4. How much did he pay for the chicken nuggets? He orders 100/20=<<100/20=5>>5 boxes So that means he spent 5*4=$<<5*4=20>>20 on nuggets #### 20 A supermarket has 2355 loaves of bread at the start of the day. By afternoon, 629 loaves are sold, and a further 489 loaves are delivered to the supermarket by their supplier in the evening. How many loaves of bread are there at the end of the day? In the afternoon there are 2355 - 629 = <<2355-629=1726>>1726 loaves of bread left. By the evening there is a delivery and there are now 1726 + 489 = <<1726+489=2215>>2215 loaves of bread. #### 2215
